on retail outlet concepts and the built environment in that country.

incorporated in 1977 and the shopping mall is its maiden venture
into property development, on a site it purchased 12 years ago.

Both Perbena Emas and PSB Realty come under Pan-Sarawak Co Sdn Bhd,
which started off in the timber trade and then moved on to building
and construction materials and air-conditioning supplies.

The group has carried out major building and infrastructure work in

interiors of Axxezz, the Malaysian
-grown brand known for its
contemporary jeweler collection
befitting for all occasions.

latest shopping mall, The Spring,
this is the first outlet in Sarawak for
Axxezz (pronounced Ak-cess) having
established several other outlets in
countries such as UAE, Pakistan, the
Philippines and of course, Malaysia,
since 1998.

Frias-Himpe's passion for fashion
jewelleries and inspired by her
travels to the east and west, its
designs go beyond seasonal trends
to please every personal style.

At Axxezz, one's journey there is
like an everlasting fairytale where
each chapter happily ends with
the one's finding of the perfect
accessories while the next chapter
begins with the anticipation of this
blossom's new exciting collection.

Fashionable one-of-a-kind pieces
from the outlet here include a
variety of sparkly accents that
spice up bohemian fantasy pieces
to romantic rosettes in demure
classics. Mother of pearls sit
artfully clustered in brass settings,
while Swarovski crystals grace
slinky velvet chokers reminiscent
of bygone romance. And, as if
in choreographed mismatch,
chunky jewel-bright gemstones
on retro gold brooches present a
petal play amidst dyed beads that
trickle down fringed pieces in tribal
charm.

The brand, which is denoted by
a single lime-green and turquoise
blossom, also presents the young
ones with the Axxezz Kidz Klek
Kleh Collection which was inspired
by little girls with hair scraped
back in braids and ponytails.
The collection is a charming and
colorful confection of adorable
fashion accessories comprising
sweet candy-pink party pouches
to tactile lace hair bands and
fun trinkets. Each pretty piece is
richly detailed with bright, playful
accents that celebrate the flower
fairy in children.

Apart from that, Axxezz has also
made a head start with hats that
feature all the brand's signature ,
details. Beribboned, bowed or
beaded, the Axxezz hat is versatile
and adaptable whether it is to lend
volume and structure to the attire,
to mix and match an outfit, or to
accent an entire get-up.
